...unsustainable and dirty than hydrogen itself, and hydrogen is already a filthy fuel made overwhelming by the steam reforming of dangerous fossil fuels, and sold only for the purpose of greenwashing fossil fuels.

There isn't enough platinum on this planet to make any more than demonstration toys to rebrand the fossil fuels from which hydrogen is made.

A Giant Climate Lie: When they're selling hydrogen, what they're really selling is fossil fuels.

When, as in the case of the one million dollar fuel cell bus explosion in California, the dangerous fuel ignites, the residue of fluorocarbons from the heated fuel cells leaves the persistent perfluoroalkyl substances behind as a permanent contamination.

Fuel cell bus in California destroyed after explosion during refuelling.

The end result of this half century old failed shell game is to simply make things worse, and of course, this, and similar scams put forth to entrench the use of dangerous fossil fuels has largely succeeded. Since the publication of the first issue of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy in 1976, the concentration of the dangerous fossil fuel waste carbon dioxide has risen from 329.41ppm in week 41 in 1976 to 422.45 ppm in week 41 of 2024.

This fossil fuel rebranding shell game is not only useless; it's dangerous and extremely dirty.
